� Student Reference Books � Last week, your student brought home a copy of the Everyday Mathematics Student Reference Book (or SRB). The SRB is a handy reference when students are confused about a math assignment. It also contains the directions for all of the program games, so students can gain extra practice by playing at home. These books should remain in a safe place at home (ideally, in your child�s homework area) until the end of the school year.
